The reaction of 2-bromopropane reacts with sodium iodide in acetone is an example of Sn2 reaction.
The I - attacks from backside to give the transition state for both.
If we compare the transition state for cyclobromopropane 2-bromopropane then we see in case of cyclobromopropane transition state, one of the H is very close to the incoming I -.
This results in steric strain and less stability of the transition state. Hence 2-bromopropane reacts with sodium iodide in acetone over 104 times faster than bromocyclopropane.
Lithium is a good reducing agent because it is electropositive [it rapidly gains electrons] fluorine is good oxidizing agent electronegative [it loses electrons fastly]
